When you\u2019re a young couple, you think you\u2019re going to have kids, but it just wasn\u2019t one of those burning things for me. I had my career and my music and I was travelling.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The &#8216;Jolene&#8217; hitmaker went on to add that had she chosen to have children she would have spent her life &#8220;worrying&#8221; about what might happen to them and insisted she would &#8220;hate&#8221; to bring a child into the world right now in its current state.<\/p>\n<p>She added: &#8220;If I\u2019d had kids, I\u2019d have stayed home with them, I\u2019m sure, and worried myself to death about them. With everything that\u2019s going on, I\u2019d hate to be bringing a child into this world right now.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nMeanwhile, the &#8216;9 to 5&#8217; star is known for her excessive use of cosmetic surgery to retain her youthful looks and insisted she will always have work done if she notices something is &#8220;bagging, sagging or dragging&#8221; but does occasionally have the odd setback as a result of a procedure that means she has to stay away from the cameras for a short amount of time. <\/p>\n<p>\nShe said: &#8220;If something is bagging, sagging or dragging, I\u2019ll tuck it, suck it or pluck it. Every now and then you\u2019ll get a haematoma, or sometimes with fillers and Botox you can get too much and have to wait till the swelling goes down to look normal again. It means that instead of being back at work in two weeks, it\u2019s a month.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.femalefirst.co.uk\/celebrity\/dolly-parton-regret-children-says-1390333.html?f=rss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>26 December 2023 Dolly Parton doesn&#8217;t regret not having kids.
